I know I rarely comment and since you haven't been posting that works out rather well eh? but, last night while perusing the blog world I was thinking of you, wondering, and hoping that all was well. So glad you checked in.

I can't tell you how many times I wish I could clone myself, grow extra arms and bottle time. Sometimes we need to just be still and "be" (remind me again of this when I am chasing my tail). I love you sweet girl. xxoo Heidi

Dear Miss Jodie,I know just how you feel. Where the heck has time gone? I hope you have a wonderful time this year making the gorgeous things that you do. Even if you don't, your photos are always a treat!

Time is such a precious commodity and never enough of it to go around. As talented as you are my adorable crazy Cajun...can't you figure out a way to create more time? If you do...I'll buy all you have.You have an artist's soul and while you might be able to keep it at bay for a while...I know it won't be forever.I'm trying to carve out more time myself. Seems like it just slips through my fingers or is that what happens when one starts getting old?Miss you darlin' and I'm still planning a trip down your way. I'd love to come for y'alls Mardis Gras, but it may be after the spring show (gah...that's just around the corner!). Hey...that'll be when it's warmer and we can put the top down!Love you and miss you like crazy!Deb

Hey sweet Jodie, It's wonderful to see you posting again. I thought about you many times and missed you and your always beautiful, thoughtful and/or funny posts. Hopefully this year will be a much better one for you and you will not only have the time but also the peace and quiet to get back to your studio and create.I've been so lazy and have put off writing long e-mails but I promise to write you soon.Big hugs and love,Julia

Dear Jodie, time can surely run-and surely be filled to the brim, with our life- I wish you a happy year 2012, and hope to see you now and then,here-showing all the beauty surrounding you-like thise lovely gifts.Hugs,Dorthe

Oh sweet friend, I can't believe that it has been almost TWO years since we met in Savannah! I miss you bunches and pray that 2012 will give you some extra time that you need to create! Love all of those precious pretties! BIG HUGS, T!

Jodie, I am feeling that time scrunch too. When we found out about Pat's cancer, time felt very precious. He and I now are holding on to each and every second and filling them with all the joy and happiness and freedom we can find.

I think of you often Jodie when I am blogging. I hope that you are doing well and have found your joy again. I know how a hurt like yours takes TIME to really scab over...it never really heals completely....but I am so glad to see you blogging and thinking of projects. I look forward to hearing more from you in 2012....one day at a TIME!!

Jodie,I always enjoy your posts, and am so glad when you appear on my google reader. (I always read, but don't always comment. It's a combination of my girls not napping as much as they used to and my being a lazy lady ;). I was seriously thinking about the pocket swap the other day, and how I wish I had seen what the lovely Leslie sent you. It's all so pretty, and I must say, so you! Can't wait to see more of your posts in my google reader! :)

Hey Jodie! guess what. You are mentioned in my post today so I came over to see if you had posted again and here you are! Yea! I used some of the yarn you sent me to make a bowl so that's in my post. The Red Heart yarn is great because it's thick and crochets up a bit stiff. I do hope that time will be on your side in 2012. I've gotten to the point where I just make the time. To heck with everything else. :) Best wishes and blessings, Tammy

Hello Dear Jodie!I too have missed the time being able to indulge in the blog world. I am slowly returning and have found the true and blue wonderful people and things we love about the blogging world is still here and sweet as ever. We will wait the lace will wait, take time and visit when you can. Sending you lots of hugs!Kelley

Good to hear you are taking a bit of time to create. I miss all your pretty things. I miss you too and all the laughs. Time is definitely something that needs to be weighed in everything we do. We have only so much and to waste a drop would be a sin. It is a definite balancing act. Each of us needs to decide what portion we will allot for each task. I think you are doing the right thing by letting go and allowing what is right for you to be your guide. Love you sweet Jodie. Hugs, Pam

We are hopeful for you Jodi!! You have been missed!! I understand completely about the time thing though. I think we all wish we had more of it!! (And the energy to utilize it too!!) Wishing all the best in 2012....and especially more time!xo,Karen

Hi Jodie, just stopping by to say how delightful your blog is. Thanks so much for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chrishttp://chelencarter-retiredandlovingit.blogspot.com/

Lovely to see a post from you dear friend.Time can be a hard one, sometimes there are not enough hours in a day.Love all the pretty goodies from the pocket swap.Do hope you and your family are well and sending hugs to you.

Hi sweet Jodie, I wanted to stop by and give you a huge cyber hug XXX. It has been so long since I have caught up on blogs. I was going through some old crochet trims, talking crawfish with a friend and you were on my mind. Sending you xxoo's ~ Heidi

Jodie, Jodie, Jodie....I so understand a long time coming...that's me too! My balance is much better and life is so sweet when you balance it properly, I miss our notes but know that true friendship is not mindful of time.Take care my friendGale

It is good that you have slowed down a bit. Not so great that you are not feeling inspired. You have such a talent and are a wonderful person. Your post is beautiful and creative. Hopefully you get more time.

Boy, I don't know if you'll ever see this. I'm the 60th comment on this post done in 2012. It's now August of 2013. I haven't blogged for a whole year. I moved, got a new computer, can't download, didn't have my studio anymore, there you have it. HOWEVER,

I am looking back on all of my blogs and reading all of my comments. I miss all of our visits. You were so sweet and loving to me and I still am touched by your words. I'm working right now on trying to download this new camera onto this new computer.

Jodie, I check ever so often in hopes of finding you here again. I know this is your sanctuary or use to be. You can never turn your back on creativity! Its always with you! When time I allowed, I hope you tap back into it! You touched many through your beautiful lens/views of your camera and your words that touched deeply and provoked memories, humor, and gave wisdom! I miss you. I'm not one for social media, but this was one site I connected to you my sister. Love and miss you, Karen
